Maybe forgetting some old stuff we don’t really use
Trailer was titled to my father. He used it for about a year 35 years ago and then parked it in his shed where it sat motionless for the next 34 years. He decided it was time to either get it usable or sell it to free up the bay in the shed. In exchange for the title, I went through the wiring and brakes to get them working right, changed the wiring harness plug from a 4 wire flat + 5 wire flat to a standard RV plug, added breakaway kit, swapped the 3/16” safety chains for chains rated for a 14k trailer, replaced tires, removed cleaned repacked bearings, added conspicuity tape, put a license plate on it. I have about $750 in it. Don’t use it much but have used it several times to move the tractor. Dad lives next door and can still use it whenever he wants.
First pic is pre-rehab. Put the tractor on it to make sure it fit and balanced right before any $ or sweat invested. If all four trailer tires had exploded just sitting there, I would not have been shocked. Did NOT tow that anywhere.
Post rehab. Paint still original. Tires looking a little better.
Had the dealer install rear remotes. Picked it up at lunch so it was “bring your tractor to work day” at the office. It tows and stops quite nicely.
